Introducing the antique Ronniet.

The Ronyettes are two-lens folding glasses worn by ladies of the upper class.
It seems that it was also used as a fashion accessory by hanging it around the neck on a chain.

This is a sterling silver ronniet with beautiful openwork engraving and gold plating.
The mechanism for popping out the lens is fine, but the part that opens the folded lens is weak and requires a little manual assistance when using it.
There is a ring on the handle so that you can attach a chain or something similar.

We hope this lovely Ronietto will add color to your everyday life!
